A new variable (e.g. `file-name-history-variable') could be introduced
to hold the name of the history variable. The default would be the
currently existing `file-name-history'. And the other possible value
would be a new history variable (e.g. `file-name-extended-history')
that will collect all visited/displayed file names like:
(defvar file-name-history nil
"History list of file names entered in the minibuffer.")
(defvar file-name-extended-history nil
"History list of files visited/displayed in the current session.")
(defcustom file-name-history-variable 'file-name-history
"History list to use in the minibuffer that reads a file name.
The value of this variable should be a symbol; that symbol
is used as a variable to hold a history list for the file names."
:group 'files
:type 'symbol)
Then the users would be able to customize it to `file-name-extended-history':
(custom-set-variables
'(file-name-history-variable file-name-extended-history))
